- 5-20-96 v2.00
-
- Registry Search & Replace (REGSRCH.EXE) is a Win32 utility which can be used
- to simplify maintenance of the Windows NT and Windows 95 registration
- databases (the "registry"). For more complete information on what this
- utility offers, how to use it, or about its author, see our support site on
- the internet's World Wide Web at address:
-
- http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/shoek
-
- This site serves as the primary support contact for the program (in addition
- to e-mail). Here you will find a complete tutorial with screen shots and
- a Frequently Asked Question list. You will always be able to find the latest
- version of this and other SJHSWDev programs on this site.
-
- There are many new features in this version! Even though a year has passed
- since the release of v1.00, you'll see that RegSearch still has a bright
- future ahead of it as it gains more and more functionality in the area of
- registry maintenance. Many of the new features were the result of registered
- user suggestions!
-
- Some of the best new features include:
- -- New RegSearch Profiles (.RSP) allow the saving and restoration of
- search criteria. Profiles are associated with REGSRCH.EXE automatically,
- and can be set to AutoStart for complete automation of a search & replace
- operation.
- -- Ability to search for registry values as well as data
- (as in HIVE\Key\Value = Data)
- -- Remote registry search capability
- -- Integration with the Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 Start Menu Find submenu
- -- New user interface
- -- Improved speed and accuracy
- -- Full compatibility with Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT 3.51.
- (best experienced under the new shell of Win95 and WinNT 4.0)
-
- Also new in this version is the switch from "donation-ware" to true shareware.
- If you find Registry Search & Replace a useful addition to your toolbox, you
- are encoraged to register it. Registered users receive free upgrades for the
- life of the program, active support, and a eager ear for enhancement
- suggestions. For details on how to register, please see the Registration page
- of the program's tabbed dialog. Note that an evaluation period of 25 uses of
- the program is imposed on unregistered users.
-
- Since you're reading these release notes, you have already successfully
- installed RegSearch using its new InstallShield setup program. If you are
- having trouble running REGSRCH.EXE because of the need for MFC40.DLL or
- MSVCRT40.DLL, you need to obtain these DLL's and put them in your Windows
- system directory. First, check your drives for these files in other directories
- (use Windows 95's file finder to make it easy). If you don't have them already,
- they can be downloaded from Compuserve's WINSHARE forum under the name
- MFC40RUN.ZIP or from the Internet at address:
- http://www.schaft.com/ftp/Win95/mfc4.zip
- These DLL's will eventually be included with future versions of Windows (for
- example, Windows NT 4.0 includes them). In order to reduce the size of the
- RegSearch distribution archive, I decided to leave them out.
-
- I hope you find this utility as useful as I do! Thanks...
